Evans Anthais

The Evansi Anthias, also known as Yellowtail Goldie or Evan’s Anthias, is a colorful marine fish with predominantly violet body and yellow dots on its flanks. It also has an orange line running from nose to pectoral fin. This fish has a peaceful nature and can coexist with other non-aggressive fish of the same species. It is recommended to keep one male with several females in a 125-gallon tank. If kept alone, a 75-gallon tank is sufficient. Anthias species are hermaphroditic, and if a dominant male dies, the largest female of the group may morph to take its place. After acclimation, anthias thrive on a varied diet of frozen mysis shrimp, enriched frozen brine shrimp, and high-quality flake foods offered in small quantities throughout the day. A refugium with copepods and amphipods can provide a steady supply of nutritious live food. The Evansi Anthias requires experienced care and is not suitable for novice aquarists.
